GRANNY'S GREEK FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut two large potatoes in thick pieces, salt them, sprinkle them with the juice of half a lemon and stir them well.
• Cover them and leave them for about 45 minutes.
• In a deep frying pan, heat up 2 cups of virgin olive oil.
• Drop the potatoes in the hot olive oil and let them fry with no cover until they get golden.
• Take them out with a strainer-ladle and place them on kitchen paper towels so that they totally drain from the excess oil. (They are eaten hot.).

BEST ROASTED GREEK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together spices. Set aside.
• Place potato wedges in a large lightly-oiled baking dish (I used this one) and sprinkle with the spice mix. Toss potatoes together briefly to evenly distribute spices.
• In a bowl, whisk together chopped garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and broth. Pour into baking dish with potatoes.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the 400 degree F-heated oven for 40 minutes.
• Remove from oven briefly. Uncover and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the potato wedges. Return to oven uncovered to roast for another 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through and have turned a nice golden brown with a little crust forming.
• If needed, to add more color, you may place the dish under the broiler for 3 minutes or so, watching carefully.
• Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!

GREEK POTATOES WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, garlic, oregano and parsley in a food processor; add 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Puree until mostly smooth.
• Toss the potatoes with 1/2 cup of the prepared vinaigrette in a large bowl and spread in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. (Reserve the remaining vinaigrette.) Roast the potatoes until tender and golden, turning occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Transfer the potatoes to a platter and drizzle with some of the remaining vinaigrette. Season with salt and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette on the side.

GREEK POTATOES WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, garlic, oregano, and parsley in a medium bowl to blend; season with salt and pepper.
• Toss potatoes with 1/2 cup vinaigrette on a heavy, large, rimmed baking sheet. Reserve the remaining vinaigrette. Pour chicken stock around potatoes and season potatoes with salt and pepper. Roast potatoes until tender and golden brown, turning occasionally, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and more chopped parsley.

FRIED POTATOES, GREEK-STYLE

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes, lemon juice, salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl, mix well and allow the potatoes to marinate for an hour or so.
• Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the marinated potatoes and fry them, tossing gently but often, until they begin to brown. Adjust the seasonings, adding additional salt, pepper, lemon juice and oregano, as desired.
• Cook until nicely browned and just tender. Do not let the potatoes get so soft that they fall apart.

GRANDMA'S CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place yellow and red potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Combine mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large bowl; mix well. Slowly add potatoes and toss; use a wooden spoon or flat spatula to avoid mashing the potatoes.
• Pour potatoes into the prepared pan. Dot butter over the top and cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and uncover. Preheat the oven's broiler. Return to the oven and broil until top is browned, about 5 minutes.
